And the same applies whe driving bare foot. While not against the law, the Driving Standards Agency says it is important to wear appropriate shoes while driving, to make sure you have enough control and breaking force.

The DSA describes suitable shoes as having a sole no thicker than 10mm, which is not too thin or too soft, provides enough grip on the pedals, not too heavy, not limit ankle movement and be narrow enough to stop you from accidentally pressing two pedals at once.

This also means wellies, high heels, and walking boots are not recommended driving footwear either.
